About Alternative HR
Your experts in Human Resources
Alternative HR was born from a vision of a human resource consulting/outsourcing organization dedicated to providing small business owners with an affordable alternative to hiring a full time certified Human Resource professional.
Today, Alternative HR is the leading HR Consulting company to small businesses throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Our HR Consulting Team
All Kellie ever wanted to do was help people. She started out as a Sociology major, but decided after her freshman year she needed to find another way to help people or she wouldn’t be able to pay back her student loans! That was when she switched to Human Resources…and has studied and worked in that area ever since. In 2010, she found herself tired of the corporate world because she didn’t really feel like she was helping anyone there. As a result, she started Alternative HR that year. And we have been happily helping small businesses ever since.
